Divorce Mediation...

Divorce and family law litigation ranges from simple forms that may need submitting to the court all the way to contested court battles over custody of the children. We never forget how much money is on the line, in the settlement and in legal fees and court costs. That's why we offer flat fees for uncontested divorce filing and some other family law services. If you think your divorce will have very few contested issues, we can often work out an amicable agreement and submit it to the court for a judge to sign off. Ms. Fischer is a qualified mediator with many hours of experience helping her clients get through the process, one issue at a time.

...Or Trial, If Necessary

For divorces involving disputes over property and custody, you can trust Ms. Fischer to prepare your case diligently and try your case aggressively. You will always be kept fully informed and fully in control of your decisions throughout the litigation.
